The Memorial University of Newfoundland has taken steps to help those affected by the United States' immigration/travel ban. From an announcemnt by the university from the Memorial Gazette:
Memorial is dedicated to providing immediate and tangible support to students and faculty affected by this travel restriction:
- We are waiving application fees for students from the seven countries affected, which include Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for a 90-day period. At this time we will also waive application fees for students from the U.S. To learn more, please get in touch with the Office of the Registrar here, by emailing [email protected].
- We are also exploring first-semester scholarship support for students from the countries affected, and will provide further details as soon as they become available. Our Internationalization Office staff members are trained and available to provide support and advice to individuals who are concerned and troubled by this situation, and we welcome all undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-doctoral fellows from the countries affected who may need support and guidance.
- All students considering future travel to the U.S for academic purposes are encouraged to contact the Internationalization Office to discuss their decision to proceed or cancel.
- Memorial’s certified immigration advisors are here to assist students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty, staff and other members of the university community who may need support in obtaining visas, study permits or other immigration documents. For inquiries, please contact Natasha Clark, [email protected].
- Our School of Graduate Studies is dedicating extra supports for students affected by the travel restrictions who may be seeking to identify graduate supervisors and is also extending deadlines for admissions for students affected. For more details, please contact Andrew Kim, [email protected]
